Go Go Amigo is a 1965 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Robert McKimson.[1] The short was released on November 20, 1965, and stars Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales.[2]

In this film, Speedy needs music for his birthday party. Daffy is a shop owner who denies him the free use of his radios.

Plot

Tired of the local Mexican villagers crowding around his display window to watch a running TV set, Daffy Duck (this time the owner of El Daffy's Radio and TV) turns it off and declares that, to watch TV, they must come in and buy a set.

Meanwhile, in a mousehole in his store, Speedy and his friends are celebrating his birthday. Unfortunately, one thing is missing: music. So Speedy goes into the main storeroom and turns on one of Daffy's radios.

Daffy abruptly shuts it off. Consequently, Speedy does everything in his power to have fiesta music at his party. Daffy counters the pesky rodent, right up to arming himself and invading the local radio station to make a hostage of the radio DJ, forcing him to play disagreeable Bill Lava music. Speedy races to the radio station and subdues Daffy by tying him up on a record player.
